Yesterday we will really slammed with orders and worked until about 10:00 PM. My 19 year old daughter was exhausted when leaving the shop and new what I would be facing the next day with out her at the shop to help. (She is in college and has a 3 hour course and a 3 hour lab to attend on Saturdays.)
She needed to study for this exam, but stayed with us until we locked the door. She still needed to go to the grocery store to pick up a snack for her class. I gave her some money and told her I would pay for her class snacks and to please pick up chips and soda for the staff for us, and leave it inside the front door. Her apartment is attached to the shop.
This morning I woke up and check e-mails to see how many orders we had received on the website over night. I kinda freaked because the e-mail orders had all been read and the back office of the site showed no waiting orders. How could this possibly be???
I throw on a pot of coffee knowing that I will not have time once I am at work to make any.
I get in the shop and there is bagels and butter, fresh strawberries, and a pot of coffee waiting for the staff and me.
I opened the cooler and the soda and dip for the chips were there on the shelve.
I went to the desk and there sat a big bag of potato chips!
The website orders have all been printed with the credit cards run.
The TF.con orders that were waiting have all been refused.
The money I gave her to buy the snacks is sitting at my work bench with a note,"I did not use any of your money"
I was so amazed...so grateful, so touched!
She saw that there was a order to be delivered to my sister who is close by where her college is located so she delivered that on her way to class at 8:00 AM !
At 2:45 she arrived back at the store with pizza and soda and more chips, knowing we were probably needing a refuel and jump right in to help!
This day I will never forget! She made me so proud to be her parent and so grateful to have her as a daughter. This day she became the woman that I always hope that she would one day become.
This was a Mother's Day gift I will always remember.
